Now to the good stuff: playtesting (emphasis on play). Right on we selected the pistol while playing Battlefield 2 and pressed the triple threat button – down went an unsuspecting enemy passing by. The pistol, which is only good for close range shots to the head, turned into a lethal weapon as you can spend a whole clip on an enemy with a few clicks. Heavier weapons such as the assault rifle can deliver quick bursts of fire that can put down an armored adversary with a few carefully aimed clicks. Nice.

The great range of sensitivity increased our performance and precision. We used the lower settings (400 and 800 dpi) for careful aiming; and the higher settings (1200 dpi and above) to gain a faster response from heavy weaponry such as anti-aircraft artillery. No fighter escaped our sights when firing at 2500 dpi – our cannons moved otherworldly fast. You have to pay attention to the blinking scroll wheel to know the current sensitivity.

We tested the Equalizer Laser Gaming Mouse on a variety of surfaces, including a wooden table, leather couch arm (when connected to a laptop), wall, glass window and even a T-shirt. It didn’t work on the glass window, but even on the T-shit it performed flawlessly thanks to its dual laser engine. The table and wall were treated with the same respect by the mouse.

In final analysis, the OCZ Equalizer Laser Gaming Mouse stands at the top with other great gaming mice such as Logitech’s G5. It’s a step ahead with its triple threat button and great precision due to the dual laser engine. The blue metallic sheen gives a modern/futuristic feel that will catch the eye of both gamer and casemoder alike. Our only gripe is the thin cord that doesn’t feel that much resistant.
